Okay, I have a few questions about radiation poisoning.

If a number of bodies were pulled out of Hobbs Bay, and they had all died of radiation poisoning...

1. Would the bodies potentially be radioactive?

2. Would the police be able to figure that out before an autopsy? If so, how? Would there by some sort of sign on the body?

3. Once the police figured out that the bodies were radioactive, what would they do to ensure that no one was exposed to the radiation as they waited for the experts to arrive?

4. What experts would they call?

5. At the autopsy, would the police be able to match it to a particular source of radiation? For example, kyrptonite poisoning v. poisoning from some sort of nuclear reactor.

6. And could someone receive a deadly dose of radiation by be injected with something?

Thanks,
